I have asked MLUGers about being able to start Fedora from a GRUB 2 menu. I tried, I researched what I could, and just ended up with a boot time bios key to allow me to select the drive.
I would have preferred the Simple GRUB menu where I slide down the list, click enter, and voila. Has anyone used grub to start a grub 2 UBUNTU, or vice-versa? ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein mailto:[email protected] mailto [email protected] / [email protected] www.itbms.biz --- On Thu, 12/2/10, Hendrik Boom <[email protected]> wrote: From: Hendrik Boom <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MLUG] A Fedora14/CentOS5 guy wants to install Debian To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, December 2, 2010, 1:15 PM On Thu, Dec 02, 2010 at 08:27:29AM -0800, Leslie S Satenstein wrote: > Following advice from Hendrik, I installed SQUEEZE on the home computer. > > On my home computer I dumped Ubuntu and installed squeeze.

I had to explicitly forbid the grup upgrade in aptitude. There were a number of complaints about grub2 failures when it first appeared, and I was unwilling to abandon bootability. I haven't heard any complaints recently. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
